Mincers â a phenomenon in the West, rather unusual and specific, and many reputable manufacturers of home appliances include them in their products, focusing precisely on the specifics of the American and East European markets: in fact minced meat easier to prepare, cheaper and, as they say, all âon the teeth. And it is also a great way to show your culinary imagination.
The meat grinder in Soviet country
* If the mincer has a power below 1300 W or it does not have the reverse function, it is worth thoroughly clean minced meat from veins and films, otherwise they will get wound up on the blades.
* Most meat grinders in food processors are designed to make minced meat, not pùté, and therefore are quite finicky about the quality and texture of the meat.
To clean the mincer and âgetâ out of it all the meat without residue, spin a crust of stale bread or a raw potato at the end.
* For minced meat for liver pancakes or chicken cutlets it is better to use a nozzle with larger holes â so the taste and texture of the product will be more pronounced, and the tenderness of the dish will not be affected in any way.
* Professional chefs advise using a meat grinder to puree vegetables as well: it turns vegetables into a puree, not a sticky mass, which often happens when you grind vegetables with a blender.
The thing is that the latter releases too much starch from the vegetables, which has a bad effect on the quality of the mashed potatoes: they become too sticky and not airy.
* If you need a meat grinder to grind berries and fruits, choose a model that has both a steel and a special plastic auger.
The fact that the contact with the metal destroys vitamin C, for which we actually do all kinds of preparations of currants, gooseberries, raspberries. Use a plastic auger and enjoy vitamins all year round!
